using WP as CMS ?

  • I am enjoying using WordPress so much, adding news through our dozens of pages, with just the correct cat include tag need on each page.

    It has me thinking, is their away to plug in my website, all php, for editing, with preview, and manage with WordPress ?
    I haven’t had to open up a word editior program in days, and it has me spoiled ??
    Would be awesome if I could use it as a content management for all the exsisting pages..

  • That’s what the new “pages” feature of 1.5 aims to do.

    snooky789,
    how do you specify correct category code?
    My understanding is that you post in the blog to update different pages…depending on the specific category you embed in their HTML?

    I have the Show Categories Plug in https://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/category/show-categories/
    Then you specify what category you want to show for that page, by adding a call tag.

    Here is an example of a line I am using for all the pages of my site, just changing the #

    <?php show_category_posts("category=85"); ?>
    <?php if ($scp_posts) : foreach ($scp_posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
    <div class="post">
    <div class="storycontent">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach; else: ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    allusion, I have been playing around with the New page some, but I have a website full of pages, that I would like to control, edit, with WordPress but haven’t thought of a way to do it.
    Looking at some other solutions now, like CMS Master.

    snooky789,
    It is possible to use wordpress as a CMS – it’s what I did for one of my clients. I removed the commenting altogether, cutomized some templates, created the category hierarchy in WordPress, created some mod_rewrite rules and she was good to go ?? – she now uses w.bloggar to update from her desktop.
